Chelsea are edging closer to replacing Antonio Conte with Maurizio Sarri – but what could his dream team look like?

"Basically, Chelsea are now in limbo. [Antonio] Conte is sitting on packed bags waiting to be fired and former Napoli coach [Maurizio] Sarri is waiting for #CFC to activate the exit clause in his contract. Napoli have already signed [Carlo] Ancelotti."

Seri’s all-action displays at Nice have seen him talked up as being ideal for the hustle and bustle of the Premier League.

His agent, Franklin Mala, revealed last month that clubs face a race against time to snap him up for a knockdown price though.
